Domestic Violence Program

Every day in the United States, three women die as the result of domestic violence. Overall, more than one in four will experience domestic abuse in her lifetime. And research shows that financial security is one of the biggest reasons people remain in abusive relationships.

Allstate helps millions of Americans protect and prepare for their financial future. Sharing that expertise with survivors, along with providing targeted grants, is the centerpiece of a national program to help survivors build more stable, successful lives.

The Allstate Foundation partners with the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) and other leading national and local nonprofits to create innovative programs, like microloans and matched savings to help survivors build assets and financial independence. Job readiness and job training programs also provide an opportunity for greater advancement and economic security.

And the Moving Ahead Through Financial Management Curriculum, developed in conjunction with NNEDV, helps survivors take the next steps toward long-term financial security. It includes information on safeguarding financial information and records, budgeting and expense management, creating a financial plan, and much more — all tailored to the specific needs of abuse survivors.

Arming survivors with financial knowledge, skills and resources is key to ending the cycle of violence and building lives free from abuse. The Allstate Foundation's innovative public awareness campaigns encourage people to talk more openly about the issues of domestic violence and are working to help end this pervasive and deadly social problem.
